Different Days

The last couple of days have been different on so many levels. Normal days turned topsy turvy. For starters I've been refereeing basketball and flag American football (non-contact) tournament games, which took me away from the lake for a bit and was much to the kid's surprise as they didn't know I play. It has somehow turned me in to a bit of superstar on camp as every other kid and counsellor is asking questions about my experience and wanting to shoot hoops or throw an american football about, and without fail, promptly followed by the question "why aren't you a ............counsellor". I still retain the opinion that I have he best job on camp! The bet bit is I'm getting all the troublesome kids starting to listen to me and cooperate. Amazes me the power sport has over people, especially with the older kids.
On the lake I've really got to know the Malibu wakeboard boats well. I've figured out how to create HUGE kickers in the wake, some kids are getting about 6ft of air....on a tube.
So Tuesday comes around; it's a normal day, I'm sure of it! The day goes as planned and the evening activity is the much anticipated counsellor vs. Seneca (the eldest kids) American Football Game. 
Amazing...my time to shine...NOPE! A single propellor aeroplane swoops over head (ok...I know it sounds far fetched but really did) and 3 guys eject themselves from the plane. Parachutes deploy, one guy's flying a green flag and another guy, a White flag closely followed by a third with smoke pouring out his heels. Next thing 2 new York street dancers are busting out the moves in a dance off one half wearing white and the other green...
"Green and White Breakout"...the opening ceremony to a day filled with totally random games. 
Green and White is INSANE! Half he camp is dressed in green, the other half in White (my team) and compete in events such as the Box car derby...but you're not allowed wheels and you have to make a boat, mini tricycle race (you really can't fit in them), frisbee marathon, slowest cycle race (slowest time to the finish line without falling off wins), funny synchronised swimming...topped off with a rope burn finale, where the Senecas build a fire to make the flames reach up and burn a horizontally suspended rope. White win and I've never cheered so loud, especially at a rope.

We're currently sat in a big yellow school bus on our way to another random event...Manchester United are on their USA tour and upper senior camp are on our way to see the first game against New England Revolution at the New England Patriots "Gillette" Stadium...
